The B&W branded yellow 47uF was the one I was referring to
B&W CM10 Mystery Cap?
I own a great pair of B&W CM10s, low to high seems to be how B&W prioritized parts quality across LF to HF crossovers. LF begins with an average electrolytic, then into the HF which also covers off the mids - they step it up to a mystery film cap, on to beautiful Mundorf SilverGold Oils for the tweeter.
I suppose on some level this is the way to do it, if one were a manufacturer, but leaves me thinking there is improvement to be made and mids are my target. I was thinking of placing a 0.1uF bypass cap on the yellow mystery cap as a safe bet for a boost and thinking Mundorf Supreme SilverGold.
Here is a pic of the mystery cap in question - what do you think of this plan? Good? Or scrap it and just replace the cap with something expensive and be done with it ?

@erik_squires thanks man. |
i added the Mundorf, at first a little underwhelming but given a few days they've opened up - does that make sense in a bypass scenario?? It's a neat trick, still unsure if as effective as complete cap replacement, but seems like a worthwhile experiment nonetheless! https://ibb.co/QMPrtD3 |
